ECONOMIC
AND FISCAL IMPACT OF IMMIGRATION: AMERICANS TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS

Illegal
alien migration into the United States costs American taxpayers $346
billion annually reported by the National Research Council. While
employers of illegal aliens rake-in billions of dollars, the US citizens
subsidize what may be called organized “Slavery in 21st Century
America.”

While
Congress facilitates outsourcing, insourcing and offshoring of American
jobs by the thousands weekly, that same Congress imports 182,000 legal
immigrant monthly who need jobs. Another estimated 100,000 illegal
aliens arrive each month without jobs. All those immigrants seize
jobs from American citizens at slave wages.

What
happens to the American taxpayer?

“Immigrants
are poorer, pay less tax, and are more likely to receive public benefits
than American citizens,” said Edwin Rubenstein, reporting on
the National Research Council’s new book: “The New Americans:
Economic, Demographics and Fiscal Effects of Immigration.” The
Social Contract Winter 2007-08.

The
NRC found that the average immigrant household receives $13,326 in
federal welfare and pays $10,664.00 in federal taxes. Thus, American
taxpayers shell out $2,682.00 for each immigrant household.

In
addition, the report showed that immigrants affect 15 different executive
agencies of the U.S. government.

*
Earned Income Tax Credit—fraud is rampant and IRS does little
to verify existence of children.
* Clean Air and Climate Change—these goals are unattainable
as long as US population grows—driven by unending immigration.
* Emergency medical treatment—US taxpayer money provides $250
million a year to help hospitals defray costs for illegal aliens.
* Bureau of Land Management—the Interior Department spends $1
million to mitigate environmental damage done by illegals crossing
US southern border.
* Migrant educational grants—intended to help sates educate
children of illegal workers. More fraud from over-counting.
* Office of Foreign Labor Certification—immigrant workers depress
wages for US citizens resulting in declines in federal revenues at
$100 billion annually.

As shown on CBS with Katie Couric this past week, 300,000 pregnant
Mexican women cross the border to birth their babies, known as ‘anchor
babies’, in American hospitals at an average cost of $6,000.00
per birth with no complications. If the child suffers heart defects,
Downs Syndrome, Autism or any other problems, the costs jump to $500,000.00
with long term care into the millions of dollars. All footed by the
America taxpayer!

Not
mentioned in Couric’s report, that child enjoys free breakfasts
and lunches through 13 years of publicly funded education at an average
cost of $7,000.00 per year. Additionally, American taxpayers foot
the bill for all medical and housing assistance for the child and
mother. More hidden costs add up with ESL classes to teach the child
English. Connecticut alone suffers 120 languages in their schools
while Colorado suffers over 40 foreign languages that cripple their
classrooms.

The
list of expenses paid for by American taxpayer soars with time and
numbers of illegal aliens. Additionally, legal immigrants sponsor
their relatives in chain migration and family reunification at US
taxpayer expense.

These
immigrants take American jobs while they burn American taxpayer funds
for immigrant welfare. This all happens while the US national debt
approaches $10 trillion. Immigrants flood into this country while
jobs cascade out to China where we owe $1 trillion in T-bills as of
2008. Additionally, we suffer a $700 billion annual trade deficit.

Once
those illegal aliens hit this country, half of them work off the books
and do not pay $401 billion dollars annually according to the 2005
Bear Stearns Report. Additionally, they form the second largest underground
economy in the world. Both legal and illegal immigrants send $80 billion
back to their home countries in cash transfers on untaxed money.

When
does it end? Not any time soon! Who pays? You do! Like the proverbial
golden calf, the United States taxpayer bleeds to death daily while
our president and Congress fiddle, faddle and scratch their generous
rear ends while they facilitate the death of America’s middle
class.

Our
politicians create the problems they campaign to solve; but once in
office, as John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have proven
with their time in the U.S. Senate—they work more against Americans
than for them. The proof in the aforementioned report is, as they
say, “in the pudding!”

Final
note: I am looking for thinkers, writers and advocates to
add to my monthly “Master Mind Think Tank.” In reality,
our politicians create the problems that they campaign to solve. They
never solve them; thus we spiral into deeper national chaos. I need
new ideas and new creative thinkers to help me bring our most pressing
issues onto the front burner: overpopulation in America caused by
ceaseless legal and illegal immigration. As you know, the recent PEW
report shows immigration adding 100 million people to our country
in 30 years. We need to stop it and we need to stop it now. Join me
in saving our civilization. frostyw@juno.com
